Dramatic afternoon.  All started well.  New afternoon session time of 4pm.  Business as usual.  In the indoor pool because so hot outside.  I did video - below.  The DS water was stinging some of the kids everywhere.  Darcy  was in a fair bit of pain.  I could not work out why.  It was unbearable for her so we got out after 10 minutes and I went to the Prof.  She said because of the 45 min of chlorine pool.  More on this later.

We had a thorough rinse, applied the cream then relaxed in the shade.  The kids were all in a buoyant mood and were all enjoying lying around.  So a good afternoon, not too hot a nice cool breeze.

THe Prof came in and advised that for Darcy, the chlorine has made her eczema flare up again (we did not go in the pool for the last 3 days).  The chlorine also softens the skins and dried it our so the salty DS stings the soft skin.  No pool tomorrow.  Darcy (and the other kids) recovered quickly.

The next development was that the Prof fell over and has injured her arm or hand.  She has gone to Amman for an xray.  Everyone is very worried for her. Fingers crossed she is OK.

Lastly, one of the girls is feeling unwell.  Another girl was sick for 2 days with a vomitting bug, now another has gone down.  We are of course not only worried about them being unwell, but for our impending trip to the desert, one does not want to have diarrhoea or vomitting on a bus and camping trip.  You have to pay almost AUD $300 to go on this trip (1 adult + 2 kids) and no refunds.   oooooooohhhh????  What to do?  We shall see how things pan out.
